Isaiah 29:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

5 The horde of your arrogant shall be like fine dust,
    a horde of tyrants like flying chaff.(A)
Then suddenly, in an instant,
6     you shall be visited by the Lord of hosts,
With thunder, earthquake, and great noise,
    whirlwind, storm, and the flame of consuming fire.(B)
7 [a]Then like a dream,
    a vision of the night,
Shall be the horde of all the nations
    who make war against Ariel:
All the outposts, the siege works against it,
    all who distress it.

Footnotes

  1. 29:7–8 Just when the attackers think their capture of Jerusalem is certain, the Lord will snatch victory from their hands and save the city. The sudden shift from the Lord’s attack on the city to its deliverance by him is surprising and unexplained; it may reflect the account related in 37:36.
